Size Up for 5E
4 Stars
Size Up for 5E
If you have wide feet and high insteps, buy 1 size (not half) bigger for 5E.Propet is no longer Propet which used to be. 5E is not 5E any longer.The posted picture shows the black one I bought more than 20 years ago which is 8.5 5E and the brown one I bought recently which is 9.5 5E. As you can see, the old 8.5 5E is wider than the new 9.5 5E, even though the black one has been stretched out over the years.I have also bought Traverse as well as Veymont hiking shoes. It was a big mistake to buy them only a half size up, 9 5E. They did not stretch much.I still love these Cliff Walker hiking shoes. I wear them during the winter, the rainy season in Cali.FYI I repaired my 20+-year-old pair with Shoe Goo.Update (March, 2024):I have added a pic of my brown boots which shows how the boots look like after a winter season. They are nicely stretched out. I wear 2 pairs of merino wool socks. During the winter season, I wear them for hiking with my dog in the morning daily. I also wear them to a cafe with my dog in the city, as they feel really comfortable. I always replace the original shoelaces with the strong Thin Round Athletic Nylon Shoelaces (made in USA), as the original shoelaces often get loose. While I do love this pair of boots, I must say that they are not completely waterproof. Probably they were more waterproof during the 1st 3 months. Now my feet get wet after walking on wet grass and in wet bush. At wet places, I now wear the new black pair which I have bought later.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extra wide comfort
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2024
Size: 11 X-WideColor: BlackVerified Purchase
I love that these come in the extra wide (EEE) size. Most hiking boots are limited to medium or wide, and getting them extra wide comes at a premium cost. I would typically just buy the wide size and deal with some discomfort until they were broken in. These were a perfect fit for my extra wide feet right out of the box, and they didn't have an exorbitant price. They are well constructed all leather hiking boots that should last a long time with proper care.

These boots are fantastic . They are wide, the sole is rigid, they are light, comfortable and good looking. We like hiking and I had a hard time finding boots where I didn’t feel stones and that are wide enough for me. I had New Balance boots before and it was a torture every time I was hiking. The sole was too soft and very uncomfortable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Truly one of a kind boot, and I do mean one of kind! The largest Propet 13/5E boot ever made!
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2016
Size: 13 XX-WideColor: Bronco BrownVerified Purchase
Propet is fine shoe company that typically makes a very high quality product, even though many of their products like this one are made in China. However, my experience with this particular boot leads me to believe that their quality control is not so good, which is why I'm only giving this product 4 stars, primarily for inconsistent fit. To be specific, I am a large, diabetic man with a very wide and swollen foot making it nearly impossible for me to buy shoes from a regular shoe store, whether brick and mortar or online. Only shoes from specialty medical shoe companies such as Dr. Comfort, Orthofeet, or Apis, known for their extremely wide (up to 14E) and double to triple depth shoes for diabetic and problem feet like mine usually fit me. As you might guess, these specialty shoes typically cost $120-$180 per pair as a rule. These Propet boots only come in 5E width max, but based on reviews of how comfy and big they were, I took a chance and ordered them. I was shocked that they actually fit my very fat and wide foot and are fairly comfortable. I liked them so much, I ordered another pair in black to have as backup, as well as a few other Propet shoes in the same size, 13/5E. When these other shoes arrived, not one of the other pairs, regardless of style, came close to fitting, leading me to believe that this brown boot was clearly cut larger than any other same sized shoe in their line-up, even the same exact boot in a different color! (No, it wasn't mismarked as the length of the brown and black boots were identical, but the brown boot that I'm reveiwing here was easily twice to three times as wide, so it was pattern thing, and this boot would be very, very huge on persons normally wearing a size 13/5E shoe. I hope this isn't confusing, but the fact it fits me is total fluke and I will probably never find this error again. So I'll just enjoy this boot till it wears out as it's much less expensive than my usual medical footwear.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fit and at a relatively low price for the quality. Planning to wear them a lot!!
Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2017
Size: 12 XX-WideColor: BlackVerified Purchase
I've been shopping for really comfortable extra-wide boots for more than 30 years and these Propet Cliff Walkers are hands-down the best combination of fit, comfort and price I've ever found. There was no break-in period at all and these finally gave my "dogs" all the room they need to hit the road with super comfort and no pinching or rubbing. I received these the day before a snow, and they were super comfortable right out of the box and I felt great traction and support. The neck opens up nice and wide for easy on/off but the tongue is connected fairly high up the sides of the boot to keep out leaks. The leather was supple and flexible, but I always start off with a little polish for added protection, which these boots soaked in easily. With some new boots you really have to work to get the polish to soak into the leather. In single digit temps, these boots kept me plenty warm but the leather is breathable enough that I did not perspire at all. I just love these and I'm planning to wear them a lot!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Boots for Arthritic Feet
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2017
Size: 10.5 XX-WideColor: Bronco BrownVerified Purchase
My husband has severe rheumatoid arthritis that makes finding well fitting, comfortable and supportive footwear a nightmare. I have been trying to get him to shop for snow boots for ten years. His doctor has warned him about the danger of falling and breaking his fragile bones, but he has insisted on using the snow blower on our steep and curved driveway wearing only sneakers - and we get lots of snow! I finally decided to take a chance and order these boots, hoping they would fit. Although the website suggested ordering a larger size than he usually wears (10.5 EEEE), after reading lots of reviews I decided to go with his regular size. The only difference was that there were no 4E sizes, so I went with the 5E. They arrived just in time for our two biggest snow falls of this winter - 15 inches and 12inches. His only complaint when he tried them on was that their was no padding for the bottom of his feet, which are very sensitive. We took out the innersoles and put in a pair of "massaging gel" innersoles. With no time for breaking them in, he wore them for several hours each day and loved them. No aching feet, no wet socks and no falls!

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice boots. Comfortable and warm. Beware the width issue on sizing.
Reviewed in Canada on December 14, 2017
Size: 14 XX-WideColor: Bronco BrownVerified Purchase
The good news: seem like nice boots. Appear well made and are comfortable (see below for more on that). Comfortable even for all day wear. Kept my feet warm in very cold temps. Soles seem to have good traction on snow. Laces are weirdly long.

There are lots of reviews on these that touch on the sizing issue. I ordered what was listed as my size in "5e". I normally take a 3e. Right now I am wearing them with heavy dress socks and they are a perfect, snug fit. Dont think boot socks would work. I should note that I have orthotics (arch supports).

So yes, get them but upsize on your width.
